Long Lasting The heart of an inverter, the battery, influences the performance of an inverter. The battery is measured in Ah and varies from 80Ah to 220Ah. Basically, this means that a 150Ah battery would supply a 150 Ampere current for 1 hour or alternatively, 1 Ampere current for 150 hours.

A lot of inverters are equipped with a lead acid battery which is extremely powerful and provides a very good power supply. But like they say, everything good comes at a price! Lead acid batteries have a short life-span and are high-maintenance. On the other hand, those batteries which are sealed and maintenance-free have a high initial investment cost and a shorter life-span making them not a wise option either.

Comparatively, tubular batteries are the more popular and long lasting segment of inverter batteries available. Although highly priced, tubular batteries, not only last much longer but are also highly efficient, have a higher scrap value and are low maintenance. A well maintained tubular battery could last up to 8 years as compared to a flat plate or lead acid battery which performs for a maximum of 5 years. At V-Guard, we understand that moving the battery around your home can get tiresome at times. Which is exactly why we offer battery trolleys with 5 wheels which can be conveniently moved, are sturdy enough to support the largest battery weight, are durable and easy to install. Most may tend to believe that an inverter is just the same as a digital UPS, but that is not true. Although both, an inverter, and a UPS, perform the same task of converting DC to AC, the switchover time taken by a Digital UPS (approx. 2-3 milliseconds) is much less than that taken by an inverter (approx. 500 milliseconds). While this time delay may not matter much to us, it does take a toll on devices like computers, printers and a few others.

To explain further, Digital UPS use Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques which convert the waves to Pure Sine waves instead of Stepped Sine Wave or Square Wave, a technology which is found in older models. Pure Sine Waves provide a constant, uniform current to devices that enable them to run on full supply. E.g. appliances like motors, refrigerators, fans and televisions will only perform well when supplied with Pure Sine Waves. Any other wave form will cause disturbance in the functioning of the device, thereby damaging it. V-Guard Digital UPS models span a range of 300VA to 10000VA. A solar inverter converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic solar panel into an alternating current (AC) thereby providing the user with power. During the day the battery charges itself using solar energy and once it is charged up to a certain level, the stored energy is utilized to provide electric power. Like any other solar product, solar inverters have an upper hand over other inverters since they are easy to install and use a natural source of energy which they convert to electricity.

High/low voltage protection: This feature protects the connected appliances from burning out in case of sudden dangerous voltage fluctuations that go much higher or much lower than the regular limit. Solar Power systems i.e. setups made up of photovoltaic or PV modules, an inverter unit and battery, do the job of directly converting sunlight into electricity. V-Guard Solar Panels generate energy from the moment the sun rises up. The V-Guard DU 1500 Synergy has an intelligent LCD display to help you learn the solar energy stored levels.
